Why visit San Cristóbal Island?
The nature reserves, the exotic animals, and the impressive white sand beaches are just some of the reasons to visit the island of San Cristóbal. When you're there, we recommend that you visit some of the following points of interest:
- Cerro Tijeretas Viewpoint: from this point, you'll have the best views of the island. This is a natural viewpoint from which you'll be able to see the Sleeping Lion, an islet that has become a symbol of the archipelago.
- Laguna el Junco: of all the Galapagos Islands, this lake is the largest freshwater one. Did you know that it was once a volcano? You'll be amazed!
- Carola and Mann Beaches: without a doubt, these are the best beaches on the island.
What to do on Santa Cruz Island
Santa Cruz is the most central of the Galapagos Islands. It is because of this that the island is the most popular one among tourists. Next, we'll leave you some suggestions of what you should visit once there:
- Fishermen's Harbour: this place is one of the most interesting. Although it seems simple due to the fact it is a fish market, it's characterised by the animals that hover around the area, such as sea lions, pelicans, herons and lizards. It'll surprise you for sure!
- Turtle Bay: this is ranked in the top 25 beaches in the world. It's also home to a turtle and lizard sanctuary.
- Charles Darwin Research Station Herbarium: in this location, you can learn about the importance of protecting the natural habitat of the Galapagos National Park. Where the iconic giant turtles, terrestrial lizards and finches live.
